Emotional Intelligence Programmes

What is Emotional Intelligence?

“Emotional Intelligence is the practice of managing our personality to be both personally and interpersonally effective. This is achieved through the habitual practice of thinking about feeling and feeling about thinking, to guide one’s behaviour. The extent and effectiveness by which an individual does this is determined largely by their attitudes.”

From Emotional Intelligence at Work by Jolyon Maddocks, 2014

How we use Emotional Intelligence?

We have extensive experience of incorporating emotional intelligence into our Workplace Innovation programmes. We offer bespoke programmes that work for your teams needs and size that connect to our Workplace Innovation action plans. This supports transformation by providing a bedrock of the fundamental attitudes that are needed to make positive change happen. We find that the Emotional Intelligence programmes really support the change we are encouraging and companies have benefited greatly from this work leading to significant and often surprising shifts with individuals and teams.

Using individual profiling work, group workshops and coaching we encourage people to see others differently and to a deeper level of understanding of each other. Developing leaders in particular increasing their emotional intelligence skills and leading them to a whole new level of self awareness that transforms the way they view themselves and others creates a climate of positive and supportive behaviours.

Increased performance, better physical and mental health, greater engagement and less turnover of staff and leaders are more likely to create a positive climate when they have higher emotional intelligence.

We find through our work that mental health issues are often highlighted and we can direct people to sources of support if necessary. Often the people we might view as difficult or tricky are usually struggling with some things that we can support and help them with to reverse and turn around.

Research shows that leaders with high EI are 32% more effective at building and maintaining relationships than those with low EI. And that:

  • leaders with low EI tend to be defensive, authoritarian, hierarchical and anxious, leading to micromanagement and fear of change

  • leaders who embody trust, openness and humility tend to create organisations that show high levels of autonomy and promote new ideas

What we offer?
